You can buy Japan made Seiko on AliExpress? Can you share?

Agree Aliexpress has some great watches, although none with anywhere near the brand pedigree of Seiko.

2 serious questions though, since you see a lot of these in your business:

1) Are Aliexpress watches in frequent need of repair then?
2) Very surprised anyone would bring a $100 watch to a watch maker for repair (unless it has tremendous sentimental value or you have very good rates). If the later, do you accept repair orders by mail? I have a few vintage watches I'd love to be worked on but always assumed it would be too expensive.

In the past I would say the same..but, I have seen some stuff in person that I think are very competitive. This for example.

Black Ceramic Bezel 41mm Steeldive 30ATM Water Resistant NH35 Automatic Mens Dive Watch Reloj
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mL1Hy6Q

My job is watch repair. I've got a local friend is always busy not stuff like this, so I get to see different stuff from AliExpress regularly. I'm constantly impressed.

How is this even a deal? Rolled and hollow links. Just buy a watch for the same price on AliExpress way better.

1) Depends on the specific brand. A few brands like Pagani, Steeldive and even the cheap chronograph Sugess I've seen the most. I even ordered about 8 of the Sugess watches and flipped them. They all needed a bit of regulating and demagnetization out of the box. I only had one come back for an issue with the chronograph pusher. The rest that I've dealt with have been solid. The bracelet alone on many of the homages are super solid. And for $100 or so, I don't even understand how they make the entire watch. The Seiko doesn't hold a candle to them when comparing just the bracelet. Let alone that you're getting a bigger case and an NH35 versus a 7S26.

2.) I have done repairs via Facebook groups, here, eBay, and also do local jewelry stores and even non local ones that all mail me work. Feel free to PM me. Depending on the repair, yes it may not be economical, but I deal with a lot of people that spend more because they are sentimental or maybe just discontinued and they simply like the style and spend the money.

Agreed, I have a vintage Seiko Bellmatic that I bought for $5. Worth about $200 in good working condition, but got quoted $350 for servicing so I'm working on cleaning/oiling and replacing the crystal myself. I'd love to find someone willing to do a service for less than the replacement cost of a $100 watch. nod

Put this on a nice amazon leather strap and you got a beautiful mechanical watch for not that much coin.

That's about right for a bellmatic. Thing about servicing is, the time/labor is the same no matter what the value of the watch is. In cases with the 7S26 I used to just replace them completely because I could get the movement new directly from Seiko for $18.

I don't have any issue with the servicing cost... if a beater takes as much time/effort as a Rolex, the customer should pay the fair cost for the work, not based on the brand. It just wasn't a cost I could justify, so I'm using it as an opportunity to learn/practice. So far I've ordered about $100 of tools, parts, and oils for a $5 thrift store watch. Definitely feels like a money pit already (but such a fun one).

I have basically this watch. It fell off on my dresser once and hasn't worked properly since. I've not tried to have it fixed because it would be as much as the watch. Can I just replace the insides myself? It bothers me that I have this lovely watch that doesn't work. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

I think Sugess uses Seagull movements so this makes sense as it's basically the cheapest possible reliable auto chrono movements.

Still, AliExpress watches easily give you the best bang for your buck-it's kind of sad that they are essentially becoming what Seiko USED to be (good quality, relatively cheap entry point to a quality watch. Seiko has been cutting corners for years in order to maximize profits and currently this is VERY evident.

Depends on what the problem is. Dropping many mechanical movements can cause all sorts of problems. But, the specific problem is unknown until someone takes a look at it. Replacing the movement is a tedious job and requires a few specific tools and knowhow. Removing and replacing hands, removing the dial, etc. Plus the cost of the movement obviously.
